7 years ago Since the time I wrote this code and last pushed to this repo (over 2 years ago!), Mozilla has created a new proxy to help WebDriver clients (like Selenium) interact with Firefox. This proxy is called geckodriver and you need to install it and add the executable's location to your system path before you can use this code.
You can find geckodriver here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
These StackOverflow threads should help you with installing geckodriver and updating your system path:

Selenium using Python - Geckodriver executable needs to be in PATH
As a sidenote, this code is really old! I might try to update it now that my attention has been brought back to it. For now, I would not assume it works.

Did the pip install and get the folloing:
Traceback (most recent call last): File ".\bing.py", line 80, in
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py", line 144, in init
self.service.start()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 81, in start
os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.
